I'm working in the Revit Architecture 2009. The wierdest thing happens. I made my unit models for a condominium. I placed them in the floor plans and everything went smoothly, but over time I have realized that many (not all) of the bathtubs are missing. I'm wondering if the only way to fix this is to activate the model unit while on the plans and place a tub there or if this can be fixed automatically. The tubs are in the unit models so I figure I can't make the correction there. Has anyone else had this problem?

How did you make a unit model? Im confused on this. Is it at family with a bunch of embed families or a group or what?

Also - how is your tub family made? 2D/3D? It may be that your insertion point for the tub is below the finish floor. Using groups can be tricky because ther is a 3d insertion. Turn off the floor and set your view depth to check it out.

Sorry for the delayed response. The units are groups (I called it a model because under groups there is a "model" subcategory that the units are under). The tub insertions are 2D along with the unit groups they are a part of (I believe). I figured out more specifically what is happening. The master plans are fine and are showing the tubs. However, when I callout the units (to make enlarged unit plans) and place the callouts on a sheet, the tubs are missing in some of the units. Hope this clarifies better. Thanks.

I've seen this problem before and don't know why it happens. Probably a drawing order issue. Raise the insertion point of your tubs ... 1/4" will do. All should re-appear. Let us know if it works.

Thanks so much for the tip. Odd thing. It worked great. It's unfortunate I have to go through so many units and manually change the tubs, but as long as they show I'm happy. Just so it is clear to anyone who checks this out in the future: I clicked on the unit groups that had bathtubs missing, clicked edit group, selected the bathtub, went into element properties, and changed the offset to 1/4". I appreciate the help!

are your tubs hosted to a level that is below, say a tile floor layed over the structural floor?

lunch... As laura confirmed, this is a visibility bug with REVIT. I do not know if others have seen this problem or reported it to AutoDESK but it should be. I now build my families so this won't happen.

The tubs were not set below the floor. The offset was set to 0'-0", but for whatever reason the tubs do not show. You have to make just the slightest offset as WWHub mentioned to make the tubs appear in certain views (in this case in my callouts).
